This Trash Got Out of the Trailer!Britney Jean Spears is a pop singer and dancer, known for the sexual nature of her music, antics with men and babies, and limited vocabulary.
In February 2007 Spears pulled a Sinead O'Connor by shaving off her blonde-then-brunette locks. Rather than a political statement, Spears is either ridding herself of drug evidence or leaving entertainment to become a Harri Krishna. In addition to her new look, Brittany's been in the media after placing herself in rehab later that same month.
Spears grew up in Kentwood, Louisiana. Her father, Jamie Spears, was a building contractor and her mother was a school teacher. As a child, Spears performed in church choirs. At the age of eight she auditioned for a part in Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Club. However, she was too young to join the series, and instead spent her summers at the Professional Performing Arts Center and in some off-Broadway productions. At the age of eleven she got her spot on the Mickey Mouse Club.
In 1996 Spears was a part of the teen pop band, Innosense. A year later, Spears went solo after a demo taped got her signed with Jive Records. She soon began touring concert venues in the United States and by late 1998, she had a hit single in "...Baby One More Time." Her debut album of the same name topped the U.S. charts for six weeks in a row.
At the 2000 Grammys, Spears was up for two nominations, including best new artist. However, she went home empty handed.
Spears released her second album in May 2000, Oops!... I Did It Again. It sold 1.3 million copies during its first week in the U.S. That year she also published a novel, Britney Spears Heart-to-Heart. She released her third album, Britney Spears, in 2001. The only successful song on the album was "I'm a Slave 4 U," which reached the top thirty. This is the first album that Spears tried her talent for writing music -- five of the songs were written by her.
Spears also tried her talent at acting. She starred in the 2002 movie, Crossroads. Her performance was poorly received by critics. She was proclaimed the Worst Supporting Actress in Fahrenheit 9/11.
She released her fourth album in November 2003 titled In the Zone. She co-wrote eight of the album's thirteen songs, and was involved in the album's production. It earned Spears her first Grammy, for Best Dance Recording.
Spears' romantic life has contributed to her notoriety. In January 3, 2004 she married her childhood friend Jason Alexander on the Las Vegas Strip. They were married for about two days before the marriage was annulled.
In the middle of The Onyx Hotel Tour, in March 2004, she cancelled the remaining tour dates because of a knee injury. That same month she announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, who she had met in Hollywood. Born in California, Federline was a pizza delivery boy and dancer. They were married on September 18, 2004 before twenty-seven guests. Soon after the wedding she released her first hits collection: Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, and announced that she would be taking a career break to start a family.
Spears premiered her reality TV show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, on May 17, 2005. Both Spears and Federline were credited as executive producers -- the ratings were not as high as expected.
Spears had a baby boy, Sean Preston Federline, on September 14, 2005. Their second child, Jayden James Federline, was born on September 12, 2006. Both were delivered by C-section.
Citing irreconcilable differences, Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline in Los Angeles County Superior Court on November 7, 2006. She asked for full custody of their two sons. In response, Federline filed papers demanding the same. | |

Brandon M. Witte Arlington, TX | Posted at 1:44pm on Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 | I am also alledging that Spears had to take all the electronic device abuse because Hilton was blackmailing her with a three hour home porn of Spears and threatening to sell it for fifty million dollars if Spears went to the police. I have been alledging that on various Paris Hilton sites on the internet and Askmen.com for Paris and Nicky Hilton. Thank you again. Sincerely, Brandon M. Witte
